Information for Members
Early players please note: - the earliest tee-time on the golf course is 8.24am. This is in response to a request from green-keeping staff to avoid damage to fairways and greens through players walking on frosted or cold, heavily dewed areas. We have been asked to restrict the earliest tee-time to 8.24am until the end of July.
Expression-of-Interest to operate the Scone Golf Course
The EOI for lease of the course has been issued by Upper Hunter Shire Council with submissions due by Thursday 25 July. If you are interested in the detail, go to Council’s web-site and search for ‘Lease of Scone Golf Course’.
Kevans Knock-Out
Entries close on 30th June. Entry sheet is at R.S.L. Reception.
GPS Rangefinders
Most of the GPS suppliers have confirmed that they have now loaded the new course into their systems. Garmin advises that they will get back to us this week. Users probably need to update devices. Advise by email if your system does not update with the new course and we will try to chase a supplier for you.
Help with Managing Saturday Events
We are looking for about six or seven people to assist Scott Reid with managing the Saturday events. Entry to the competition and results are through the computer these days so much easier. If we can establish a roster so that people can take it in turn to assist over a four or five week cycle that would be appreciated. Please speak to Scott Reid or one of the Committee if you can help. Thanks to Chris Wilson and James Smart for coming forward so far.
Speed of Play
Please adopt the practice of ‘Ready Golf’. If two have completed putting they should proceed ahead to the next tee. Mark cards after you have driven rather than before if you are first on the tee, Putt with the flag in on the green if you are further away from the hole than someone just off the green who is closer. Remember it’s only three minutes to look for a lost ball. The aim is to be no more than ‘4 in 4’ – a four ball should be round in 4 hours.
Course Care
Please follow signs directing golf carts away from the fronts of greens. We have on-going evidence of some members driving carts to the edge of greens.
